So I am droping the head off at the shop for a fresh valve job, seals, surface, install of the Ti retainers etc. A TIII guy in the know told me to have the little oil plug in the head welded up to keep the head gasket from getting weak in that spot, thing is, there are two of those little plugs. Which gets welded, little one, big one, both? Also, when the casting plugs are welded, are they capped with Aluminum plugs first then those are welded, or are they just filled in completely with weld?
By the way, the HG had less than 15 K on it and one of the fire rings was blown into the cylinder about a mm or so, not sure how the coolant was getting into #1 and #2 cyls, gasket looked pretty intact there:confused:
